Didier Deschamps has chosen to recall a former player to his group for the next Nations League matches.

France will soon challenge Israel and Italy on behalf of the League of Nations. The French rally began this Monday and not all the players summoned were able to answer the call. Wesley Fofana and Ousmane Dembélé had to withdraw due to injury.

To replace the Chelsea back, DD recalled Benjamin Pavard. And regarding Dembélé, it is another experienced player who is invited to make his comeback. The federation has just announced the imminent arrival at Clairefontaine of Kingsley Coman.

Coman, a year later?

The Bayern winger had not been called up for selection since the last Euro. He only played one match there, that against the Netherlands in the 1er round. Furthermore, his last start in the selection dates back to a year ago. It was November 18, 2023 against Gibraltar (14-0). He then scored a double.

Aged 28, Coman is rewarded for his great performances with his club Bayern. In the last four Bundesliga matches, the former Parisian was decisive four times (3 goals and 1 assist).
